- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 3 weeks ago:
This is everywhere on the internet. I think it’s people looking for an easy way out in arguing. Purposely include a few logic fallacies and watch as the vast majority of people latch onto them. Ignoring any previous points they were trying to make. I like ad hominem.
- Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows. 2 months ago:
Reading threads from even 5 years ago makes it painfully obvious reddit is dying. Its mostly repost bots now, and the upvoted comments often have the conversations out of order or have generic fortune cookie like responses.
- Comment on Microsoft's many Outlooks are confusing users and employees 2 months ago:
All of Microsoft office products haven’t changed for the good in more than a decade. I still use office 2007 on my personal desktop and 90% of the features and buttons are in the same spot as the current office 365 offering.
Only thing that is an improvement is live collaboration, but that’s getting constantly screwed up by one drive sucking ass.
- Comment on D.C. mayor to remove Black Lives Matter Plaza amid pressure from White House 2 months ago:
Why not say you are doing it, then just don’t. Constantly act like you don’t know why it’s not done, take forever to reply, pretend you thought it was already done, etc. Resistance isn’t hard in these situations.

Generalizations of a single person based on where they live make for bad assumptions about them. I do not subscribe to American exceptionalism. I did as a child raised in a republican household, but not as an adult.
I do generally agree though. Most US citizens see themselves as superior to others. I hope the next 4 years help those people see otherwise, but probably not.

Holy shit dude. You deleted your comment but i can still see it. The incredible sense of self importance you project onto me and other US citizens is your own problem.

Your right and wrong. If we become as bad as you think, we will very much be a problem for all of the world. We’ll see in 4 years which way we go.
I refuse to sacrifice my family for the zero chance of saving you.

Ok? What a pointless opinion. Reality is we, as in the whole world, aren’t going to fix my country by being obtuse.

Yes?
Most of us fucking hate it. And I fear we may become the next fascist superpower.
Our internal politics are probably more important than the entirety whatever country you live in. We spend way too much on our military for you not to pay attention.
I personally will never support any sort of invasion and won’t give a shit if our soldiers die because of it. Wish the rest of the country would get on board.

My dad is genX and uses it the same way. I have explained it to him multiple times that it’s like sighing at someone.

I’m an American who works primarily with Canadians. Their opinions are very eye opening.
The nuance you’re missing is based in American exceptionalism. You are no different than a Russian citizen, stuck under a government you/I hate. Focus on what you and your family can control.
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 3 months ago:
Yeah I’ve never heard anything good about jeeps in general. Now they are being run further into the ground by trying to become a luxury brand. At least when it was just a shitty jeep, it was still a somewhat cheap shitty jeep.
- Comment on Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt 3 months ago:
It was the weirdest shit. He doesn’t know anything about towing or hauling. His cybertruck is the first truck like vehicle he has ever owned and for some reason his ego tells him he’s qualified to help. Its probably his total lack of experience that caused his upset.
To redeem him a bit he is incredibly willing to help people. He’s just got more money than brains and experience lol.
- Comment on Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt 3 months ago:
The one person I know who owns a cyber truck was upset when I didn’t call him when I had a truck needing emergency, my wife’s car had broken down on a freeway offramp. The people that own these stupid things are cos playing as truck people even moreso than the average truck owner. The weirder part of his upsetness is, I was already driving a 3/4 truck because my commuter vehicle was not running. All I had to do was go get a uhaul trailer and go get her car. My mind is still boggled that he threw a fit about not calling him.
- Comment on If you are a young person you have no idea how bad everyone and everything smelled until at least the 1990s. 5 months ago:
Altria, formerly Philip Morris, still allows smoking in their building as of a few years ago. It’s trippy to book a non-smoking room in the 2020s.
